Critic Reviews
A nicely constructed science-fiction film, with a simple premise, a charismatic villain and a good back-story to enhance the action.full review
Star Trek: First Contact is one of the best of the eight Star Trek films: Certainly the best in its technical credits, and among the best in the ingenuity of its plot.full review
